GregTParticipantFollowing this thread so that I can also use my pws that is connected to weather underground.
GregTParticipantTry that with just another minute timer. Great engineering Ray!
GregTParticipantHey guys, I’m running 2.1.4 Unified by don’t see the dual master option. Am I missing it? Or will it not be available until 2.1.5? Thanks!

GregTParticipantI have the rapidfire option enabled in weewx, which sends information to wundergroud every 2.5 seconds, so definitely no benefit from that stand point. Not too concerned about bandwidth either. I thought I had read in another post that there were some advantages to getting information directly from the pws, but wasn’t sure what they were referring to, so wanted to double check. Thanks for the quick response!

GregTParticipantGreat article Claudio! Had my system installed and running in less than two hours. Everything works great.

GregTParticipantThanks Samer. Patience is a virtue.
GregTParticipantI’m also looking to put a master on a station above 8. Is there a file I can pull from git that has these changes in it? Or will this be included in base code once it supports two masters? Thanks!
GregTParticipantYes, same thing.
GregTParticipantHey all, just ordered my OSPi today and ready to get my geek on! One of the features I’d love to see is multiple master valves. In my case, I’d want m1 to run with stations 1 through 14 and then both m1 and m2 with stations 15 through 18.
I only have one master with my legacy controller, but after reading all about the OS (great product Ray!!), I started to think of how it could help me fix other issues with irrigation. One issue I’ve had on more than one occasion, is a worker splitting an irrigation line while digging, tilling, etc. and having water rushing out at 60 psi through a 1″ hose for hours before being noticed. My thought was to install an inline brass solenoid valve, in my house, just before the water line connects to the irrigation manifold. This would be m1, which I’d need to activate for all stations, and prevent wasted water if any line broke.
My current system has a master valve that I rigged a year ago, where instead of replacing my manifold with a larger one, I took an existing station, added the 3 new zones to it with 3 new valves, as well as another valve for the existing zone. I currently have two legacy controllers managing this; a new controller for the four new zones, 15 through 18 and the original controller of the master which means I need to make sure the clocks are in sync to ensure the master is running at the same time as those zones. I think this will be fixed with the master valve feature and the second master would be great for the broken pipe example. Thanks!
